Adapt embedded linux distribution to unsupported hardware board

I need to adapt embedded linux distribution to an unsupported hardware. Actually im working on an embedded linux distribution.

Im lost from where to start. My question is, what factors should I consider before starting the configuration.

Im guessing drivers should be first on the list but Im not sure.

Can you help me to find a starting point and list the points and what should I pay attention for?

Kind regards

  • If you don't know the starting point, you won't be able to carry him all alone.

    Probably you need to modify the first stage bootloader, adapt u-boot, the kernel drivers, the device tree, ...

    You could use something like Yocto, but again, I don't see any chance that you will solve it all at your own. Currently my company adapts Yocto to a new developed board, with a team of 15 people.
